While Down Under: Wildlands Festival

January 10, 2024

Wildlands Festival has made sure that 2024 is off to the best possible start for music lovers in Perth by bringing their evergrowing festival out West for the first time. The star-studded lineup this year included Central Cee, Rüfüs Du Sol, Peffy Gou and other favorites, who brought out massive crowds to fill up Western Australia’s iconic Claremont Showgrounds. With clear, blue skies and an impending sense of anticipation that filled the air, it was sure to be a memorable outing.

It didn’t take long for the grounds to fill despite many still recovering from their New Years celebrations. New York City was well represented as Harlem’s A$AP Ferg took the stage in the early afternoon to play anthems such as ‘Plain Jane’ and ‘New Level’. As the day went on, fans were blessed by momentous sets from acts such as Taylah Elaine, G Flip and The Jungle Giants. However, it wasn’t just the high profile lineup that had fans excited; rides, never-ending food options and all sorts of entertainment were also on offer.

Fans of UK rap were treated to an unforgettably energetic set by Central Cee before Destroy Lonely and Australian music icons Rüfüs Du Sol simultaneously finished off an incredible day from opposite ends of the festival.

Tei Shi Drops Make Believe I Make Believe

August 29, 2025

Today marks the exciting release of Tei Shi’s fourth album titled Make believe I make believe. Marked by its ethereal focus on notions of lust, love, and the surrender to both – the album captures an essence that mixes dream-pop and acoustic folk with a dembow flair. Her billingual lyrics will pull you in closer whether they find you in the throes of a sweaty dancefloor or through your headphones.

Made during a week-long retreat on Vancouver island with Noah Bersein and Tommy English, the genre-bending tracks were released independently. With funds from the British Columbia government in hand, the crew got a chance to escape off the grid where their only task was creating. The result is an album that emphasizes Tei Shi’s multicultural identity in an energetic yet intimate way.

PARTYOF2 Drops JUST DANCE 2

August 14, 2025

Best friends and creative duo PARTYOF2 (formerly known as Grouptherapy) return with a new track that acts as the start of their next chapter. Blending dance-pop’s effervescent bounce with sharp rap verses, the song lands in that sweet spot between playful and pointed. Its visuals are stripped-back yet instantly memorable, drawing on just enough nostalgia to feel familiar while clearly pushing their rebrand forward.

Hailing from Los Angeles, PARTYOF2 aren’t afraid to frame their work against the backdrop of a fractured America. Through bursts of saturated color and their own poetic, quick-fire lyricism, they’re crafting a space where sharp social observations and pure sonic joy can co-exist. It’s an invitation, not just to listen, but to join the growing orbit of their world.
